We are advocates for a compassionate and just society through our actions and our words.

This core value affirms that we demonstrate a special commitment to
serving those who are physically, emotionally, spiritually and
financially poor and vulnerable. We bring this to life by giving of
ourselves generously and without hesitation. The following examples show
how we exemplify this on a daily basis:

This core value affirms that each person has special value, unique
talents and varied gifts. When we revere life, we act with deep respect
and compassion for the dignity and diversity of life. The following
behaviors and attitudes show how we attempt to do just that each and

Invite and appreciate the uniqueness of people and their viewpoints

Be empathic by listening, reflecting and accepting people and where they are in life

Conscientiously care for our environment

Be with those most vulnerable and recognize that not only patients,
but also families, co-workers and physicians need help from time to time

This core value affirms the meaning of the work we do and the fact
that our workplace is a community of persons who share and are committed
to common vision - and depend on one another throughout the day to
further our mission. Our ministry offers hope and joy to both giver and
receiver and can be seen when we:

Connect health, healing, heart and spirit

Encouraging others to go "above and beyond," to persevere and give from the heart
